Our current caterers, Aspens, have recently won the Lighthouse Schools' Partnership trust-wide catering tender and will remain our on-site food providers for the next three years. The school is working closely with them to ensure that this new contract benefits from all the new initiatives and enthusiasm they would bring to any other new relationship.
